Easter & Mother's Day

It seems like I'm having trouble finding the time these days to update my blog, so here are a few recent happenings.


Me and my 3 little guys on Mother's Day. Their Dad and them fixed me a yummy breakfast sandwich that morning. They were so excited for me to open my gifts that they had made me at school. :) I feel very lucky to be the Mom of this little family!


The bluebonnets around our pond were beautiful again this year!

We spent Easter weekend at Dad & Mom's. We always have such a special time there! Nana had made them Easter treats, which they loved! They spent lots of time fishing, helping Papa & Daddy cut wood for next winter, going on their first armadillo hunt :) and playing with the new kittens!

Vanilla, the Mommy cat had wandered onto Dad & Mom's property and has become a very sweet cat! She had a litter of kittens a few weeks before we came, so the boys had a ball at the barn with them!


I love this picture of the boys waiting for the kittens to come out of the hay to play!


This picture was not set up!:) Do they look like they are in a 'boys Heaven', or what!! Dave enjoys going and spending time with the boys doing 'boy stuff'!

Enchanted Rock

We enjoyed a day near Fredericksburg at Enchanted Rock on the boys Spring Break. The boys enjoyed climbing the Texas 'mountain'! Daddy rolls his eyes at that comment, because he knows what climbing a mountain is all about! HA


There was about an hour wait to get into the park, so the boys & I walked up to the entrance and took some pictures!


Family shot- and yes, it was very windy up there... thus, the wild hair! :)


Dave took Bryce & Dylan into one of many caves that they explored around.


Our 3 princes!


I just love this picture of Dave & Cayden! If you look in the background, you'll see how far we had already came, and we weren't to the top yet! :) That's alot of hill for those little 4 year legs! You can also see the stream of cars waiting to get in.

Sea World

One of the fun things we enjoyed this Spring Break was a trip to San Antonio. I always remember that being one of our favorite trips when I was growing up, and we still enjoy San Antonio! Of course, we always have to eat Mexican food on the Riverwalk at Casa Rio, and ride the river boats! We had a fun day at Sea World this year!


The crew! We went in our swimsuits this year and enjoyed the Waterpark area also!


Dave & the boys feeding the dolphins in the big dolphin tank.

The kids play area is lots of fun for the boys! This big net goes high and wraps all around through tunnels.


The end of an exciting day at Sea World!

Happy Spring!

My most favorite time of the year... spring!! I love getting out in the yard and seeing all the beautiful flowers & trees starting to take off! This flower bed always is my favorite because the bulbs came from my Grandma Beeman's flower bed.

We are back into Spring Soccer again with the boys:

Bryce made a goal his first game this year and we were pretty proud of him!


Dylan had been our goal-maker in the past, so he continued his tradition by getting 2 goals for his team at his first game.


Cayden still loves being out there chasing the ball around and his most favorite part is... the snacks!! :)

Fun in the Snow!

We spent a few days in Buffalo, New York visiting some of Dave's family. The first couple of days were pretty warm, so the snow melted, but then there was a fresh snowfall one night and had a beautiful snow covering again. The boys enjoyed every minute of their time in the snow!


We bought a plastic snowboard for the boys to play on in the yard. They had so much fun snowboarding down the small hill in Grandpa & Grandma's front yard. Even Cayden got the 'hang of it' and could stay on!

Bryce & Cayden had their ammunition ready...and then they called Mommy out to throw some snowballs at!

More Snow Fun!

We took a snow hike up in the woods behind Dave's parent's house. It brought back many memories for Dave!


One day we took the boys to the ski hill. Bryce and Dylan took their 2nd snowboarding lessons while Dave enjoyed skiing with his brother, Bill and some of his nephews.

We went sledding twice. Here they are all lined up ready to 'race' down the hill with Daddy!
